EGM and Constitution Changes

What's an EGM?

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is a meeting of an organisation where we vote on important stuff, such as constitutional changes and electing executives. At this coming EGM we will be electing 2 first year representatives. We will also be voting to make two changes to our constitution.

What, When and Where?

What: As usual, free sausages, hash browns, soft drink, cider and beer, in addition to the electing and voting.

When: The BBQ will run from 12-2pm, Thursday 16th March, week 3. The EGM will start at 1pm, and will take approximately 15 minutes.

Where: Alumni Lawn (behind the materials science building)

Who: You! All students doing an electrical engineering degree or subject. (That includes the electrical ENGG1000 project.)

What does a first year representative do?

A first year rep is part of the ELSOC executive team. You'll be helping us plan all our awesome events, like BBQs, the Industry Night, the Cruise and more. It's a great way to give back to the community, it's a lot of fun, you make great friends, and it looks good on a resume.

It will also be your responsibility to:

Stand in front of your lectures and tell everyone about our upcoming events.

Find a few people in your year to help set up or pack up each BBQ. (That can include you.)

Be a go-to person for anyone in your cohort who has questions about ELSOC

Occupy the office for one hour a week (of your choosing) for our 'open office hours'. These periods are generally quiet, and you can mostly just browse Facebook or study during this time.

Attend the executive meetings, which are once every few weeks. Unfortunately these are normally at 8am (since that's the only time everyone is free).

If you're not sure whether you want to be a first year rep, come and ask any executive during the BBQ (or prior), or send an email to president@elsoc.net.

We will be electing 2 first year representatives at this election. Nominate yourself on the day, by putting your name down on the form between 12pm and 1pm.

If you want to run for the position, nominate yourself with this form or﻿ on the day (between 12 and 1).

Constitution Changes

We are making two changes to the constitution, which will be voted on together as one motion.

Specifically, we are updating our Membership details:

Members now only consist of undergrad and postgrad coursework students

Acceptance and recognition of Elec PG-SOC as the society for post graduate research students.

​The exact wording of the changes can be found below. The exact wording of the motion is: "That the proposed constitution changes are accepted".
